Quotes 

• Wyatt Logan : Security's pretty tight. I don't know how we're gonna get into the show with no tickets, which are sold out.

  Lucy Preston : Why don't we call in a bomb threat? They'll shut it down. Clear out JFK.

  [spotting two black hotel employees, Rufus leaves and returns] 

  Wyatt Logan : For once, I know where the son of a bitch is gonna be. I'm taking Flynn out at the show tonight.

  Lucy Preston : Okay, so how do you plan on keeping the president and a dozen other celebrities safe?

  Wyatt Logan : Saving history is your job. Mine is Flynn.

  Lucy Preston : What, so you just get to make this call? No debate?

  Wyatt Logan : No, there's no debate.

  Rufus Carlin : Guys, I got uniforms. We can get in.

  Wyatt Logan : What? How did you...?

  Rufus Carlin : 'Cause in '62, I'm pretty much invisible. It's my superpower.

  Lucy Preston : [holding up what looks like a negligee]  Really? You couldn't have found me a thong?

  Rufus Carlin : It's a cigarette girl's uniform. Hey, I didn't invent Vegas.

  Lucy Preston : Well, go back and invent me a waitress uniform.

  Rufus Carlin : Got it.

• Rufus Carlin : [arriving in 1962, they see a mushroom cloud in the distance]  We're too late.

  Lucy Preston : That's not Flynn. There's a nuclear test site about sixty miles on the other side of town.

  Rufus Carlin : Who's crazy enough to test a nuclear bomb outside of Vegas?

  Lucy Preston : The U.S. Department of Energy.

  Wyatt Logan : During the '50s and '60s, they tested over a thousand nuclear weapons in the Nevada desert. Set 'em off a couple of times a week.

  [seeing Lucy's expression] 

  Wyatt Logan : What? I know my military history.

  Lucy Preston : Before Vegas was known as "Sin City", they called it "Atomic City".

  Rufus Carlin : Anyone got any, uh, sunscreen?

• Wyatt Logan : [having saved Judith from Flynn]  Okay, she is hiding something.

  Lucy Preston : What she is hiding is that she is Kennedy's mistress.

  Rufus Carlin : Seriously?

  Lucy Preston : For the last two years. And Sam Giancana's mistress.

  Wyatt Logan : The mob boss?

  Lucy Preston : Yes. Remember the plot to kill Castro I told you about? She is the one that delivers messages from JFK to the mob. Not a lot of people know her name, but she is at the dead center of 1960s politics.

  Rufus Carlin : Okay, this is some real Oliver Stone stuff right here.

• Jiya : They're in Nevada. Uh... somewhere in this fifty-mile radius.

  Connor Mason : Uh, not exactly a pinpoint. Can we do any better than fifty miles?

  Jiya : Sorry, no.

  Wyatt Logan : Well, it's either the desert or Vegas, so... Vegas.

  Agent Denise Christopher : But why would Flynn go there?

  Lucy Preston : I'm looking. Okay, September 21. Vegas, 1962. President Kennedy was in town for a DNC fundraiser at the Sands hotel. Sinatra headlining.

  Rufus Carlin : So what are we thinking? Flynn's gonna "JFK" JFK one year early?

  Lucy Preston : Maybe. That room was filled with celebrities, politicians, Mafia. Flynn could kill any of them, and it would be a disaster.

  Wyatt Logan : Well, we need to get there first.
